12 cylinders in my E30?!?! MR E30's S52 E30 Project.

Don't know if the roof rack would hold it, but that would be massive win.

I could see it in the near future with this thread as inspiration

I think the 48V E30 is a fucking cool shot. Just needs an E30 trailer with another 24 valves in it.

Hay Guis, look!

i put an E30 in my E30!

[MR E30 325is]

that would have been the most intense engine transport I have ever seen. haha

My s50 came from an automatic, 4dr, lady-driven m3, but it looked like the oil had never been changed, and the ridges in the bore were so bad they barely came out with the 87mm bore.

On a funnier note, I carried it home in my 95 Nissan truck. The 2.4 had plenty of power for the weight, but the suspension was almost completely bottomed out in the rear. You wouldve thought I had an elephant back there. And I stupidly didn't have anything to tie it down with so I had to ride in the back and let my girlfriend drive. The truck has no bedliner and I knew the motor wouldnt stay in place. Of course she wasnt nearly as slow and smooth (understatement) on the throttle/clutch/brakes/turns as I wouldve been. The pallet was sliding all over the place and I couldnt really do much about it. On top of that it started pouring haha.

Good luck with your swap. 32 valves in your e30 wouldve been an interesting title too...

Haha thats crazy! at least this sucker is stable and secure in the E30.

If I wanted to do the title like your suggestion, I would have had to call it the "48 valves in my E30" since the car is already powered by an M50. haha

[619E30]

you guys are crazy. borrow a truck or something!

Haha yeah. It would be less painful

[etxxz]

damn... that's impressive.

[Wh33lhop]

Fuck you all, I win.

I hauled my m30 in the trunk of my e30!

[BlueBMW]

Wow, i wish i'd have know an engine would fit in the passenger seat area.... I could have hauled two at once! But seriously, good to know one can fit like that... Here's my last E30 haulin experience... little 4 cylinder pulled it just fine.
